Prime commercial development opportunity in the heart of the Barker's Corner commercial district in St. Tammany Parish. This ±1.60-acre site consists of Lots 5 & 6 with approximately 69,696 square feet of land area and is offered at $495,000 ($7.10 PSF).
Strategically positioned on Highway 437 with approximately 200 feet of frontage, the property is zoned HC-2 (Highway Commercial) and offers excellent visibility, access, and development flexibility. Located at the signalized Barker's Corner intersection, the site benefits from strong exposure to daily commuter and local traffic serving the Covington and Folsom markets.
The property is high and dry with no known wetlands, and ownership indicates no impact fees. Significant site improvements already exist, including substantial flatwork and paving remaining from the former Citizens Bank location, providing potential cost savings for future development.
Ownership may consider owner financing for qualified purchasers and will also entertain build-to-suit opportunities.
